Exegesis
The conjunction wə-yāsap {וְיָסַף | wə-yāsap} ‘and he shall add’ introduces the compensatory measure, with ḥammîšîṯô {חֲמִשִׁיתוֹ | ḥǎmîšîṯô} ‘its fifth part’ as object and ʿālâw {עָלָיו | ʿālâw} ‘upon it’ indicating calculation basis.
In context — Leviticus 22:14
And if any man eats a sacred thing unintentionally, then he shall add a fifth part to it and give the sacred thing to the priest.
